I use plastic bird netting, but I use less and less each year.  The 
holes (when stretched) are about an inch around, and the stuff works 
all too well as a snare.  I don't like removing dead chipmunks and 
junkos from my netting - I've almost given up on the strawberries, it's 
just not worth handling all those little dead things.  But maybe a 
rigid netting wouldn't work as well to snare them.
